[Bug 1741807] [NEW] NVIDIA Spectre attack fixes

 

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

According to http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4611 the
NVIDIA driver needs to be updated to 384.111 to fix the Spectre
vulnerabilities in the NVIDIA kernel modules (along with the upcoming
Kernel security patches).

I think this update should be pushed ASAP to all support Ubuntu releases
as a security update.

It seems so far only CVE-2017-5753 (variant 1) has been addressed and a
future NVIDIA update will also address CVE-2017-5715 (variant 2)

Please note there is also a updated version 390.12 for the R390 branch
in case that is also provided somewhere.
